So Did You Like...

...The "Around the Web" post on Friday? Those are a lot of work to put together, but I can do more if people enjoy them.

And to mention it again, I have to be off for Monday and Tuesday of next week, but I'll post a "classic" article on both days. Hopefully it will be something you haven't seen or enjoy rereading. (Comments will be open, but won't be posted until Wednesday.)

I think it would be more valuable, and would engage people more in discussion, if at least some of the items were broken out into separate posts; at least the bigger multi-paragraph items. Also that would then cause there to be new content on TOP more often, which would be good.

Yes, I liked it. More would be welcome. And while I'm here, I'll put in a request for more darkroom technique posts. I think years ago you did one on how to read a negative or a contact sheet that I would really benefit from reading again. Now that I think about it, maybe it was learning to read the difference between over/under exposed and over/under developed. Anyway, anything you have to offer on this sort of stuff is welcome by me.

The news on the new McArthur Fellow was an appropriate addition, along with the insight on what made his approach distinguished; Hepburn brought back wistful memories; never knew Bond was such an airgun fan; I keep thinking of my legacy, but I am unwilling to believe anyone will look through my hard drive for photos 80 years hence. I hope all Fridays will be as remarkable.

A year ago I found this blog, because I was interested in photographic issues. I enjoyed reading of experiences of people in the filmdays, in their darkrooms, the stories of professionals, the stories of all these great photographers of the old days, the demise of Kodak, etc, etc. It was all new to me. Even Ansell Adams was a new name for me.
All very wothwhile reading. Nice also that it can be found in one spot.
After one year, I lose interest in all these matters. I am not a gear nerd, nor a frantic obsessive photo man.
But I keep coming back to this blog, hoping to find subjects and links, like last week.
I was deeply moved by the german poem.
Where on the internet one can find this fascinating combination of subjects?
